Four Queen's Men's Soccer student-athletes were named OUA All-Stars for the 2026 season, the conference announced on Wednesday.

Goalkeeper Daniel Clarke was named an OUA East Division First Team All-Star while defender Sebastian Aguade, midfielder Jacob Spizzirri, and striker Franco Di Giovanni were named OUA East Division Second Team All-Stars for the season.

Clarke (Arts & Science) appeared in all 12 regular season games for the Gaels this season, finishing second in the OUA in saves with 62, and fifth in the OUA in save percentage at .816.

"Daniel is a rare talent, both within a program and across U SPORTS," said Queen's Men's Soccer Head Coach Kasy Kiarash. ":His history of multiple CPL draft selections and professional opportunities speaks for itself, but his professionalism immediately earned the respect of our players and staff. In his fifth year, he made a tremendous impact as our captain and goalkeeper. He led from the back, steadied the team through difficult moments and consistently made crucial saves that gave us a chance to win. Beyond his league leading five shutouts, he brought composure, accountability and a professional approach to our environment every day. He came to Queen's with ambitions to play at the next level, and his performances reinforced his readiness for that opportunity. This OUA All-Star recognition is thoroughly deserved."

Aguade (Arts & Science) also appeared in all 12 regular season games for the Gaels, with 10 starts, recording 10 goals, and helping the Gaels finish tied for seventh in goals against in the conference, giving up just 14 on the season.

"Sebastian made a massive impact in his first year with our program," said Kiarash. "He combines technical quality on the ball with a strong defensive mindset and an excellent understanding of where he needs to be off the ball. His ability to break up play, connect passes and contribute timely goals from set pieces made him an important presence in our midfield. He does many of the small things that help teams win, and his influence reaches both ends of the pitch. This OUA All-Star recognition is a well-deserved reward for his performances and the contribution he made to our team this year."

Spizzirri (Economics) appeared in 10 regular season games for Queen's, with 10 starts, recording four assists from the midfield position.

"Jacob's contribution goes well beyond that stats sheet," said Kiarash. "His mentality, exceptional work rate and commitment to the team reflect the habits you want in an aspiring professional. He approaches the daily work with humility, is willing to learn and holds himself accountable. What stands out is his willingness to do the work that often goes unnoticed. He brings purpose to his preparation and consistently looks for ways to improve his game on and off the field. Those qualities earn respect from the staff and his peers and I'm delighted to see his contribution and performances recognized with an OUA All-Star selection."

Di Giovanni (Arts & Science) tied for the team lead in goals with three in nine games with seven starts.

"Franco was a fierce competitor and could turn the game on its head with a single action," said Kiarash. "He impacted the game on both sides of the ball as an attacker with his work rate and qualtiy. I'm proud of the work he put into his recovery and glad our program could provide a platform for him to earn this recognition in his final season. Coming back from a major knee injury takes an enormous amount of work, and Franco's commitment and discipline to his rehabilitation allowed him to arrive at preseason ready to his the ground running. To return and earn an OUA All-Star recognition within a year of that injury is an achievement he should be proud of."
